When it comes to her heart, Arabella D’Angelo has moved on—even though she still lives in Mirror Lake, Connecticut, a little tourist town with a long memory for mistakes. Ever the dutiful daughter of a cantankerous widower who holds grudges, Bella has spent the past twelve years raising her younger brother and making a name for herself as a successful psychologist. Now, when she isn’t counseling a lonely-hearts club for senior women, she’s humoring her matchmaking girlfriends. Bella resists the romancing of their blind dates, yet her friends hope she’ll fall for a local and scrap plans for a fresh start in Chicago.

Then, just before Bella’s thirtieth birthday, her first love, Roman Spikonos, returns to Mirror Lake. When he moves next door to her family’s garden-center business to run his grandparents’ orchard, it stirs up gossip—and a tempest of passions—just in time for pumpkin harvest. As Roman and Bella once again get caught up in a swirl of desire and heartache, not to mention her overprotective father’s fury, Mirror Lake will soon find out whether the Italian hometown beauty and her unforgettable Greek god can stand a second chance.

From the Author

I'm very excited to give you Roman and Arabella's story. This is the start of my new series about the Spikonos brothers, brothers of Greek heritage who were separated as children and who each return to the town of Mirror Lake, Connecticut,to find their lives and loves...and each other. This book still has the lighthearted tone of my previous books but also has a more serious undercurrent.I introduced the first Spikonos brother, Lukas, in my last book, THIS LOVING FEELING, (although each book can also be read as a stand-alone).Arabella D'Angelo's had a tough time overcoming past mistakes, but she's built a good life for herself. Her brother that she raised is about to graduate from high school, and she's months away from finally being able to leave Mirror Lake for Chicago,even though her friends' matchmaking efforts are designed to keep her in town.But even she's not prepared when after twelve years, handsome, enigmatic Roman Spikonos returns to take over his grandfather's orchards, which are located right next to her traditional Italian family's garden center. Seeing Roman awakens past heartache but also great passion. Caught once again between family and her feelings for Roman, Arabella must at last reconcile her past and see if the future can provide a second chance for a love that was cut short the first time around. I hope you enjoy CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I absolutely LOVE it when a book makes me cry and get completely frustrated (in a good way) before it eventually makes me sigh happily, and this book did that. I not only cried, but I actually honest-to-goodness ugly-cried while reading it, and I can't remember the last time that happened while reading a book.

A lot of times when an author writes a series of books, it's easy to point at one of them as the 'weak link' in the series; the book that doesn't quite reach the same level as the others - but that is just not the case with Miranda Liasson's Mirror Lake-based books. They are all solid, high-quality reads, and Can't Stop Loving You is another fantastic addition to her Mirror Lake universe. Although this book can definitely be read and enjoyed as a standalone, I recommend that you start with the other books that came before this one so that you can fully appreciate the many cameos by the citizens of Mirror Lake and because they're just great books.

Roman is the guy that every woman dreams of - he's tall, dark, and handsome, but his biggest asset is his incredible capacity for love. He loves his mom, his brothers, and his Bella...even when she makes it difficult. In this day of arrogant alpha-cavemen cluttering up books with their obnoxiousness, one of Ms. Liasson's strengths lies in knowing how to write male leads who are strong men who love fiercely and are strong men, but who don't have to act like absolute swaggering jerks. As a reader, I very much appreciate that. **Slight spoilers just to end of this paragraph** Roman's Grand Gesture that he used to win Bella back was absolutely wonderful and totally made up for the ugly crying that I did earlier in the book.

Bella is a sweet, but flawed woman who loves her family more than anything; sacrificing even her own happiness to keep her family together. At times, Bella's unwavering loyalty to her father and brother made me mutter as I read, but I also understood why she did the things she did, so it made her a sympathetic - though sometimes frustrating - character.

I'm not usually a big fan of flashbacks in books because oftentimes they're written in a way that makes it hard to keep the flashback and current-time stories straight or they're too full of 'filler' to be interesting, but the flashbacks in this book are utilized *perfectly*. There was no confusion at all, and the flashbacks were not only functional in regards to the story, but they were also a fascinating glimpse into the character's teenage years. I loved - and totally ugly cried during - the looks back into Bella and Roman's early relationship.

Whether you have read the other Mirror Lake stories (which you definitely should!) or you're new to Ms. Liasson's world, if you like second chance love stories or long-enduring pining love stories, you'll love the story of Arabella and Roman.

I requested an ARC of this book and voluntarily wrote an honest review because I loved the book.

Such a sweet second chance love story. To young to stand up to her father, Bella sends Roman away. Roman who did not have an easy start in life but was lucky to be adopted runs. Twelve years later the circle connects. HEA!

It was an intriguing story of two people who struggled with their past, and the tug of a bond that they couldn't escape. It has a lot of traditional love story qualities to it that remind me of lifetime movies. The description of the bond between two people that was much more than sexual attraction is what I loved most!

Loved all the small town characters, the family dynamics and of course the hunky hero. Sweet, funny, with a lot of heart. Miranda Liasson always delights with her contemporary romances. Check this one out!

re-reading the mirror lake series and then hopping straight into this book was awesome. i had forgotten that they were together in that series but had their troubles. very cool to see that progression into this series. :) cute, unique, and fun read.

Miranda Liasson has taken us on another fun adventure at Mirror Lake. Though this is the start of her new series about the Spikinos family, all the old friends pop in.

After her mother’s death fourteen-year old Bella D’Angelo’s life was in turmoil. Years passed and a high school romance with Roman Spikinos turned hot quickly, too hot. But life isn’t all roses. She was forced to make a decision. Her love for Roman was sacrificed to hold her family together and be both sister and mother to little Joey. Roman was sent away thinking Bella didn’t love him anymore. She couldn’t tell him the truth.

Twelve years later Roman returns to Mirror Lake, and the sparks rekindle, but too many secrets and lies are holding them apart. Can she cut her family ties to be with him again? Could they find the love they’d lost all those years ago? You’ll have to read it to find out.

Miranda’s characters have such chemistry that you are rooting for them from the start. I’ll be the first to pre-order her next book.

I just sat and read this book in one sitting! I haven't done that in years! I couldn't put it down! The author did such a good job pulling me in and making sure I was right there with all of them all along the way! I felt everything! It made laugh out loud, it made me cry, it made me wreath in pain, it made me laugh and smile and cry again, and it gave me Hope! Yes, here's to second chances! Or all the chances we need to truly let go and heal, find ourselves and each other again, and BE LOVE! THANK YOU!
